Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 79

◈Episode 79: Don’t do this (4)

The Inquisitor held his mace tightly as the dragon resisted fiercely even though his entire body was tied up.

Would it have been any different if there had been a shield? A useless thought occurred to me for a moment, but I immediately threw it away. If you were weak enough to be defeated without a shield, you shouldn’t have started that journey.

“Oh God.”

She craved divine power even more. Then the predicted pain followed. It was a pain that sent flames flowing through my veins and baking under my skin.

If I could erase the evil in the world by sacrificing my body, if I could use myself as the wick to burn away all negativity.

She was ready to burn her body.

“Your servant is here.”

It was an offering.

“Please use me as a tool to re-establish the laws of the world.”

An offering of oneself for the peace and safety of others.

“Save the innocent.”

The divine power that had been swirling around her since the battle began flooded everywhere.

Wow!

The first to be hit by the wave of divine power was the dragon, who could not escape due to restraint. Its scales began to melt and its flesh began to burn.

The unclean odor rising from there is being purified by divine power, just like the blood-soaked earth.

“Aaaah!”

Those who made a pact with the devil should have done the same. Those who rushed to eliminate the intruders fell down complaining of pain, unable to use their strength.

If I had received great power through the contract, I would have at least resisted. It was like being attacked because I had no power to resist but was only holding a target.

“What the fuck happened!”

“You bastard thieves!”

In that respect, those who did not contract with the devil and existed as humans were better off.

They did not feel the warmth of divine power, but they were not particularly disturbed.

“Oh my god, please die.”

Of course, it was a different matter to have to deal with a thief that the Inquisitor had even given a buff to using purely your own strength.

“There are too many! Hey, when does the dragon die?!”

However, this is not necessarily advantageous. The bandits had an advantage in battles such as sneak attacks, but they could not use their strength properly in an all-out war like this.

If it weren’t for the support through the buff, the Inquisitor would have had to put in effort to kill them by now.

“…just be patient a little longer.”

The overwhelming pain even took the moisture from my voice. She clenched her dry throat to come up with an answer and then advanced towards the dragon who was looking straight at her.

The dragon also lowered its head, which had been held high, as if it had realized that the time had come for a final decision. It was my first and last opportunity.

A huge flame began to spew out from the dragon’s mouth.

“Hwaaaaaap!”

At the same time, the Inquisitor also ran. The extreme heat was approaching, but I was not afraid of it. She has always been someone who puts herself in the spotlight.

The warrior clad in white light threw himself into the fire. The flame that penetrated through the divine power heatedly licked my skin and cooked my muscles.

However, divine power also has the power of healing. The burned skin regenerated instantly and the muscles also grew stronger.

The ash dust scattering from her body is like shards of light.

“Justice for injustice!”

The one who defyed the fire stepped firmly on the ground. thud! The body with the mace raised crossed the flames and stood on top of the dragon’s head.

“A fitting punishment!”

Quang!

A flanged mace made of several iron blades struck the dragon’s upper jaw.

The scales on which the egg was located were shattered, and its head fell to the floor.

There was a series of tremors so heavy that the heavens and earth shook. A dragon struck by tremendous force does not simply lower its head, but creates a crater.

The red-haired warrior finally raised his head above the crushed and exploded head of the dragon.

Rumbling!

“…?”

“Stand here!”

“Hey, it looks like there’s some trouble at the castle!”

At that moment, a loud commotion suddenly arose from the castle.

The Inquisitor’s green eyes twinkled for a moment, wondering if the demon knight had caused it.

“…The real monster was in the castle, right?”

However, what I saw instead was a monster with tentacles that looked like it was trying to devour the castle.

“Die—kegh!”

Kwasik!

She found the bandits, destroying several pirates that the bandits had not been able to kill. There was only one Qureity with dark green hair, so it was very easy to find.

“Get ready!”

The original plan was to catch the dragon, then escape to the city and play tag… but plans are meant to be ruined.

She shouted after confirming that the pitch-black slash sliced through the castle monster.

“We’re going to the castle!”

As expected, the demon knight was not defeated by them.

* * *

Is it because I always fight with only a sword and no shield or anything like that? For the first time, I realized that fighting with something is very annoying.

This was especially true because it was not as small as a dagger and had the characteristic of having a fire at the end.

Why, in addition to fire’s tendency to look upward, does its heat not discriminate between friends and family? Because of these factors, torches became very difficult to handle.

[What a rat!]

But if this is the only weapon that can cause damage to the opponent, what can I do if I have to endure it?

I ran along the outer wall of the castle, leaving the monster even larger than before. There was nothing we could do to stop those who were heading to the central garden in search of offerings.

Isn’t the reason it grew so big because we couldn’t stop it from eating up all the guards and guards? If I were to drink the blood pooled in the central garden here, the work would become even more troublesome.

Well, even now, the demon contractors who heard the commotion are trying to help by giving buffs to him or sending gargoyles.

Good!

However, in the latter case, it was actually a hindrance. Tentacles were flying from all directions, but they actually prevented the flying demon from approaching me.

Moreover, there have been more than a couple of times when they collided with each other and obstructed my path, leaving me breathless. The bigger Focalor’s body got, the more this happened.

“Ugh!”

“Why us!”

[Save your blood and flesh to help me.]

Also, in the case of the former, since the person himself has destroyed the supporter, it is rare to get a proper buff. It seemed more efficient to just stuff it in my mouth and digest it rather than apply a buff.

Thanks to this, the demon contractors who don’t want to be bullied are leaving, buffs and all.

One way or another, it was beneficial to me.

“Aaaah!”

I swung my sword as I watched a new human being captured through the window. The fierce slash cut through the tentacle holding the person, leaving a clear scar on the castle wall.

“Aaaah!”

Pow!

Oh, by the way, preventing humans from entering Focalor’s second mouth and saving captured humans from falling are two different things.

Why should I spare the lives of those who were not civilians and were sucking honey under a superior who was in league with the devil?

「Insanity Gauge 19%」

Above all, no matter how much we do, we do not have the resources to catch each and every one of those who are falling and bring them to a safe place.

It was hard enough for me just to cut the tentacles while avoiding attacks from Focalor and all kinds of monsters, and quickly apply a torch to the cut parts to burn them.

The same goes for the madness gauge that gradually builds up!

I kicked against the outer wall, feeling a sense of crisis that I couldn’t wait any longer.

The tentacle that was targeting me narrowly missed it. It was a very fortunate thing.

[How far do you think that strong rope will lead?]

Of course, it is true that the only way to escape the 7-story castle’s outer wall is to fall.

One I am someone. Aren’t you a gamer who has grown further after experiencing naval aerial combat? What was left everywhere was a stepping stone.

“I will put an end to your filthy life.”

I stepped on the mouth of the gargoyle that was trying to bite me and fired a small slash at the tentacle targeting me from a different angle. The tentacles were cut but not completely cut off.

And it happened exactly as I had hoped.

It wasn’t completely cut off, so instead of new growth growing, it regenerated to seal it, and that brief recovery gave me time to use it as an additional foothold.

The moment of regeneration is due to the tentacle not being able to hear the main body.

[You lowly bastard!]

Thanks to this, I was able to freely run through the air instead of being held by my ankles. Other tentacles rushed towards me, but it was no problem.

Two of the tentacles were torn off by the flying demon’s teeth. Some of them can no longer play because I brought a torch to them.

[I am the one who will rule over this land and the land across the sea! I will even reclaim the position of the Demon King and become the only king of this world!]

Yes, that’s right. Do whatever you want. I don’t know if that’s possible.

I didn’t even ask, but seeing this person talk about his ambitions in detail made me want to pick his ears.

I didn’t have time to do that, and it would be a disaster if I did, so I didn’t dare try it.

[But why don’t the people at the bottom die!]

Well. That’s what I’m saying.

There have already been three unfortunate incidents where the torch went out while cooking meat. That many tentacles were destroyed.

Nevertheless, many of Focalor’s tentacles still remain. This is because the burnt part was cut out and regenerated.

He was a really annoying boss.

「Insanity Gauge 20%」

Even though I was not compatible, I felt a surge of frustration over the boss that was so unsuitable.

To be honest, I want to throw him into an oil pit. If you fry or bake it like that, at least it won’t regenerate.

「Insanity Gauge 21%」

No, you really can’t do that? If I knew the location of the damn kitchen, I would have poured some oil on it.

If you then light it on fire, wouldn’t it burn brightly?

「Insanity Gauge 22%」

Oh, when did the Insanity Gauge exceed 20%?

I clicked my tongue but bundled myself up and ran to avoid the attacks being fired at me. My body bounced up and landed on the castle roof as if spinning around.

The sloping ceiling was a little slippery, but it was better than the 90-degree sloped wall. At least it doesn’t fall down when it’s still.

“after.”

More than anything, this was an opportunity. An opportunity to attack while enjoying a stable base of support without relying solely on your own strength.

A situation like this would not be easy to create against an enemy climbing up the wall. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, I poured my magic into the sword. As the speed of magic recovery increased, this was not much of a burden.

And when the tentacle, which had regained its stance, came aiming at me, I suddenly threw the torch into the air and rushed into Focalor’s arms.

[Foolish!]

Naturally, Focalor swung its tentacles and arms wildly as if it had seized the opportunity.

Squeak!

However, just before her attack reached me, the magic charm she had thrown before rushing forward split Focalor’s body diagonally.

The tentacles in the path were no exception.

[I would have said it was useless!]

Thin thread-like things protrude from the cut cross section and begin to connect each other.

Sigh!

Before they could be restored, my leg stepped on its chest. Some of the tentacles used for regeneration quickly wrapped around my ankles and waist, or grazed and penetrated some parts. HP dropped all the way.

“die.”

However, this is the expected amount of loss. My arm struck down the sword.

Ground crash. The skill I used for the first time in a while exploded wild energy in all directions.

[Sigh!]

A pitch-black energy cut through the darkness and spread everywhere. The tentacles that wrapped around my body and the demons that flew within the range of my trampling body were no exception.

[You!]

But the reason I used Ground Crash wasn’t just because it was an omnidirectional attack aircraft.

Ground crash has a knockback effect (pushing the target back). Focalor’s body crawled away from the outer wall and began to fall.

Anyway, I know that it will somehow reattach itself with its tentacles. If there is one tentacle hanging from each window frame, there is no point in dropping it.

But there was something that briefly stopped him from going to the central garden.

Worst of all, I bounced back and landed on the roof again. In this state, just jumping out and reusing the skill you just used on Focalor will be enough to stop him.

Of course, I am worried that the torch may be caught in the shock wave and go out.

widely.

I took back the torch I had thrown up earlier and adjusted my sword. Suddenly! The harpy that was running at me was split in half and rolled down the roof.

Suddenly, something strange caught my eye.

[I will kill you!]

“…Your wounds won’t heal?”

The diagonal cut from earlier had not completely healed. This is true even if there is no fire.

Whatever the cause, it is said to be capable of surpassing its regenerative power and splitting that body in half.

“Insanity Gauge 24%”

Isn’t it okay to just cut it in half? I have to tear it limb from limb. How much did you bother me?

“Insanity gauge 25%”

Still, it saved me the trouble of rushing around to get gas.

I gently bisected the two approaching demons and sent them one step forward. The legs that dared to tread in the air paid the price.

My body started falling vertically. The torch left a long trail in the dark blue air.

‘kill.’

“Insanity Gauge 26%”

Even that was intentional.

After the sword tore through all the tentacles, a torch burned Focalor’s shoulder. The acrid smell of burnt coal and the sound of screaming mingled.

And in the midst of it all, the skill that explodes as if to calm everything is a skill that shakes the earth.

Pow!

[Why why!]

The split torch sent sparks flying in all directions. Finally, Focalor’s heavy body fell to the ground.

It was still trying to target me, but it was clearly visible that even the tentacles were regenerating at a slower rate.

[How did I get to this point?]

Is there a word called ‘hwigwangbanjo’ in the world? Focalor, realizing that his regenerative power was exhausted, went berserk and attempted to attack even more harshly.

I don’t know if her emotions were reflected in her body, but the attack was even more intense, with an exoskeleton covering the tentacles and more than 7 tentacles attacking her.

The sky is full of flying devils waiting for an opportunity.

[This can’t be happening! It can’t be like this!]

But offensively and all, I’m faster. There is nothing more to say about that.

I whipped out a slash filled with magical power. I used less magic than before, but perhaps because of that, the wound was healed cleanly.

Attacks containing too little magical energy still seem to have no effect.

[I am different from them. It means that he is a better being than Bifrons, who went on a rampage without even knowing what he wanted to achieve despite coming from the bottom, and even better than Naberius, who gave up his position for his quest for magic!] In the

meantime, her arms, which had become even bigger, struck the place where I was. Part of the castle wall collapsed, creating a gaping hole.

It was a formidable force. The movement is so big that it’s easy to avoid, even if it just looks like rice to me.

[There is no way I can be defeated by you, who was just lucky enough to contain the Great Evil!]

What are you talking about? I didn’t even listen to Focalor’s words and prepared for the next attack.

‘If making it weak doesn’t work, you have to cut it harder.’

“Insanity Gauge 29%”

The scimitar let out a shrieking sound and at the same time, its blade was flooded with pitch black.

The sword rattles as each layer of pitch-black energy is added. It was a service solely for that monster.

[This is my kingdom and my throne!!]

I guess you’re a fool. I gathered my strength and walked to avoid the tentacles that were coming like a tidal wave.

With the castle behind, Focalor in front, and solid ground below, there are not many directions to avoid.

My feet stepped on the outer wall of the castle and started running upward again.

[Don’t bother me and die!]

And when I felt like my body was being affected by gravity, I kicked the wall. I forgot that demons were after me.

Those things couldn’t dare kill ‘me’.

‘Straight to one point.’

「Insanity Gauge 31%」

Twist your body like a dancer’s turn and change your front face from upward to downward. There was a wave of tentacles just below me, and at the end of it was my goal.

The devils in the sky howled long.

‘Bear.’

「Insanity Gauge 34%」

The field of vision turned red and a huge sword moved forward.

「Insanity Gauge 39%」

The world was divided.

* * *

Whisper.

I lost my strength and landed on the fallen tentacles. The legs, which had been bent for a moment to distribute the force on the ankles, straighten, and the hem of the coat becomes stiff again.

[Why why…?]

I lifted the broken scimitar. The clouds cleared slightly and the faint moonlight illuminated the remains of the scimitar.

Unlike last time, this one was not only broken, but its entire sword body was shattered. There isn’t even anything that can be called a blade anymore.

[Everything should be mine, and for that, I kneel before Satan and Helel.]

A sword without a blade is no longer useful.

I threw away the sword with only the hilt remaining.

[Why?]

And then my eyes caught what was in front of me. Everything that was in a straight line seemed to be out of alignment.

The same was true for Focalor’s demigod. Her left shoulder and lower body were cut cleanly. The tentacle tried to attach itself somehow to the freed body, but the regeneration speed was a world away from before.

[I am not defeated.]

Despite this, Focalor did not give up. Her arm rose and tried to hit me.

[I will never step down from my throne!]

I just wanted to strike him down.

[Ik Iik!]

Her arm couldn’t reach me. It was very nice to see it shaking in the air as if it was blocked by something.

[Why, why!!]

The screaming sound is quite sweet. I wonder if I can listen to it a little more.

[Everything had to be mine!!]

No, let’s not do that.

‘Now we can clean the castle.’

「Insanity Gauge 48%」

Isn’t there still a lot left to kill?
